There's a huge difference in transfer rates when copying 21GB worth of 1GB+ videos versus 21GB consisting of thousands of folders and hundreds and thousands of 1MB files or smaller.
Plenty of USB sticks that can handle large video copies just fine but drop down to 0.1 MB/s or slower with sustained small files write.
Instead of USB flash drives or HDDs, I use 2.5" SSDs with USB3 to SATA adapters or docks.
I'm lazy though so I just have RealTimeSync (included in FreeFileSync) automatically monitor and copy changes from my desktop/main library to Dropbox.
